A handling assembly having a handling device for carrying out at least one working step with and/or on a workpiece in a working region of the handling device, stations being situated in the working region, with at least one monitoring sensor for the optical monitoring of the working region and for provision as monitoring data, with a localization module, the localization module being designed to recognize the stations and to determine a station position for each of the stations.

Handling assembly comprising a handling device for carrying out at least one work step, method, and computer program

A safety device is described for a handling apparatus, particularly an industrial robot, having at least one movable gripping arm and a gripping device situated on the gripping arm, as well as having a first sensor device, connected to a control device, that is associated with the gripping arm, for collision detection. The first sensor device includes a first recording range. The safety device includes a second sensor device connected to the control device and including a second recording range. The second recording range records a range which has a greater distance from the handling apparatus than the first recording range. Both recording ranges extend outside the handling apparatus.

Safety device for a handling apparatus, in particular an industrial robot, and method for operating the safety device

In a method for operating a safety device for a handling device, e.g., an industrial robot having a movable gripper device and at least one sensor device at least largely surrounding the gripper device for recognizing at least possible collisions with objects located in the motion path of the gripper device, a signal is output to a control unit upon recognizing a collision risk, resulting in a modified motion sequence of the gripper device on its motion path, which modified motion sequence is a controlled reduction in the motion velocity of the gripper device.

A protective device is provided for a gripping device on a handling apparatus, e.g., a handling robot. The gripping device has gripping parts in the form of gripping fingers, which gripping parts are movable using a transmission mechanism. The gripping device has at least one overload safety device as the protective device which, in response to the exceeding of a certain force on the gripping device, has the effect of an evasion of the gripping device. The protective device responds exclusively in response to forces which occur from a direction and which act upon the gripping parts outside a direction of forces required for gripping objects.

A processing station for a processing line, having a module platform () and a plurality of withdrawable modules () that can be introduced into it has a transporting device () for transporting workpieces () to be processed at the processing station (). According to the invention, the transporting device () includes a plurality of part-transporting devices (), and one part-transporting device () is associated with each withdrawable module () and is solidly connected to the withdrawable module (). Moreover, at least some of the part-transporting devicesinclude a first transportation path (), which is embodied for transporting a workpiece () essentially over the width of the withdrawable module () in a first transporting direction (T).
